your selfies do result was that he's gone and a very serious one of the big. thing. when detroit became to ireland they wanted to privatized the water utility. but there was no water utility. the water was sprayed in twenty seven local authorities so we were told our government by the troika to build. the irish government set up a company called irish water. which began installing meters. to people's homes. and the first protests took place. in scads of the c.f. . loreal woman went out in the morning and said you're not putting up be the
9:34 pm
outside my house. i told him they were coming to this tears over didn't want the water meters and that was us. but even an hour or two there was a massive support of people here to stop them. and this was the first time that the irish people had taken a stand on any issue since austerity had begun says to troika write to toes and not . my daughter. i thought i thought oh my. god i think for some people are probably was the straw that broke the camel's back . i don't know if a sudden move in the street together. and people who are joining the docks and you know what has the water meters got to do with the fact that you can't see
9:35 pm
a doctor should go to a hospital what have the water meters got to do with the banks coming in taking people so this. you know this is a sewer only little bit of power you can cool and fun to try but you can stand outside your house and there's your polar and and it like it might be traders and we're still not finished but people are still resisting this because it is the one thing that they have power and they're never going to get enough. and when you're dead this is be something different to stop. it's about water forced to foremost but it's also about much more than war it's about to hurt to be trailed the surrender of sovereignty. and the redistribution of our west operatives and their debt downwards.
9:36 pm
there is a problem with the leaks and we couldn't find them until we have brought in some natures so if i see my solution suddenly it says is a million liters a month for a couple of days in my house i draw the temperature so that's the reason for the use. in island there were no meters because they had a completely different system of water charges. the irish paid through general taxation. over one billion euro was intended for the maintenance and operation of the water system. some people think those people water through taxation is a little bit crazy we really only country in the o.e.c.d. . it has zero war poverty and we're the only one with the
9:37 pm
a lot of poverty because we're the only one that pays for a trip progressive general taxation that's the one thing we got right and we'll keep it and the rest you should look at for follow us listen to us because the dumb irish got this one right. we really need to modernize our washer structure so now we really have to invest. so we need a structure to invest we need to wage borrowed money and then we need a way to pay for it paying out a general type stations people who work would probably end up paying more taxes. we are losing forty seven percent of our trees and walk into the ground in leaks before it gets to the top. no billion new up to spent do i choose to spend it on meters or do i choose to stand up billion euro in fixing the leaks and building a new one for structure. despite the water having been paid through general
9:38 pm
taxation. no tax exemptions were plans to offset the new charges. forcing all the major. threats of paying for water twice led most citizens to regard the introduction of meat as an challenges as another austerity measure and the establishment of irish water is the first step towards privatization. mr ferguson said down with the minister tusk by the government with setting up the new company. clearly didn't work out quite as we expected. it was never on the agenda from my perspective that it could would or should ever be sold or privatized while i was discussing this matter with my officials at the time i insisted that the legislation would have to include three point one delivered to
9:39 pm
say she was handed to me before i went into the parliament it wasn't in it. was real. central office and i didn't say of course we all know privatisation is ultimately envisaged. and then there was a letter from those interested just example say in your start you can say that would you please take these words out of the report. so that the report came back from years out towards the. thanks guys are financial survival guide. when customers go by you're just applying

9:44 pm
following the examples of berlin and italy the people of thessaloniki will be called upon to say through a non-binding referendum whether they want the water company to be privatized as planned by the government. suddenly however on the eve of the ballot there's a problem. they see fit in there if they had only seen it it got. they can not quote the n.c.a.a. to the school and the people who are making a little bit of this. interior minister younis make a lockett's in a circular sent out to all municipalities declared the referendum illegal and then it got to topeka mechanical not what i've said in the christmas numbers a lot and i think i was asleep but i don't see it as my photo editor going to give my police the moment of course is full of fish because you know what it was enough

9:47 pm
give you to each of. those i must. be is that. if. you get one for. me. you know. if you. have to do to. the country is now obliged to transfer all state owned assets to the superfund. a new anonymous company with a life expectancy of ninety nine years whose management board will also consist of representatives of lend us. the water companies are among those assets but the government still promises they will not be privatized so they need to go you've got these men up the ph i'll show you may go straight to bed the same as they say it
9:48 pm
could be c yes i can work out and go to some extent but when we get sent to the park you see. the state only sees that that is going to be the best of the season if the internet is a piece that. crosses from a loss who took part in the thessaloniki water movement became the alternative minister for the environment and was put in charge of water management following the state council's decision he's trying to salvage at least. fifty one percent. of the if it was in the midst of the most fuel oil it. was distilling it just wanted to give good look at the going to go to the loo and get this build just a little get the job in that it's a little bit of it with most of it was just over what i mean this is it's that we're going to produce for what it was it's pathetic he's the bit that it's that.
9:49 pm
in twenty fifteen and as became minister of the environment portugal's newly formed left wing government after the twenty fifteen elections was a policy change soon enough to. let its will deal with a first term of the vs a pulse the believe it's a set up if they didn't have that yet it will slow team is the end this views could they call soy based at the vastness of. the bass. that was good in no plays say the defeat it was not received boustany betis is that if you will see the events. unfortunately the government has washed its hands of these cases according to portugal's constitution municipalities are autonomous and the state is forbidden to intervene. to improve we're going on d.s.
9:50 pm
bossiest c.d.o. but if it is that. us. who will veto month of us real cull. had already the if the divorce do you manage. to kick you this you know says will etc. marcellus and passes to fight anna have to get by on their own. mr gomes knows he has no choice he's bound to pay a huge amount of compensation one hundred seventy two million euros will go to the private water company because the bottom has been
9:51 pm
a superlative fail to reach the envisaged population and water consumption targets . the municipality also realized it had lost all technical know how regarding water management. going to their shelves in d.s. eat good she would buy port but he had a board. so mr gomes decided to negotiate with the company was treated so maybe. star chef was awful doesn't matter possible actual work was our fight and by expect us to get the thread. themselves to two versions. home with vs one school without is no. lost interest as it would be virtual. ones eed and no such like that even. england leave it to you if they just say double again but a blackout. passes different era but the most expensive water in portugal did
9:52 pm
not appeal to the courts. umberto brito seeing troubles realized that the game was lost and try to negotiate with the company. you know seems to me was going to begin to look misleading lucas and cooper to use as a food to those who are the best freedom at that he for the. bison wasn't going to sit. no no. no no no. activists against water charges often patrol the school neighborhood. you know if they find an irish water crew installing meters they try to force them to leave. and we say no
9:53 pm
why do you need me know everybody knows that nothing is set in stone yet. the commission keeps pushing islands to comply with the community directive and impose meters and water charges on its citizens. and there is this principle which is. framed in the water directive that the polluters should be sold there should be a direct responsibility of this cannot be done with a general exception obviously next friday we meet same time. we'll do that. yet don't act on we don't act and we. faced with an precedented public disobedience the government is trying hard to maneuver between public discontent and the demands of brussels. what we're trying to do you know in a small way they would say has to happen because the european union toss it has to
9:54 pm
happen because detroit at all of us that's what it has but again tom logic on its head very very quickly. because when the european commission after the different opinion something. for example that apple corp older citizens of this country talked to bill talked in billion euro suddenly the ideology walks in the next and suddenly the new liberal say the european commission it's only an opinion we're part of europe but it doesn't it doesn't take away our ability to meet our own decisions in relation to how we tax how can do you know being commish take away our ability to meet our own decisions in relation to water for an opinion of the very same body and the very same people alone has to be her own decisions in relation to given apple a thirteen billion year old gift. well all you have to do is look at the puppets to explain those contradictions.
9:55 pm
i. see. all of these situations and all of the peoples of europe need to start having an honest conversation with each of. us missing the whole movement to defend. these good people basically need to be made nice to see more of a. system that when they're trying to allow western union to get them out of the government go in the mind of the fianna i wouldn't have a dogmatic approach to. was. going to
